Ok. You’ve got 2 tickets to 2 concerts

Anywhere in the world.
Who do you see?

1. Pink Floyd
Not much secret that me and @Junkie are the two biggest Pink Floyd fans on here. I wish they would do one last bang, but with Wright dying some years ago, there’s no way.
2. Dave Matthews Band
You’re prolly wondering why on earth DMB? I think Dave would be a guy who didn’t care if they went 3 hours or 7 hours….if the crowd was into it, they would play. The way they go completely freestyle is incredible.

 

1. Dead & Co at the Sphere in Vegas

2. DMB at Red Rocks

or

Jason Isbell at the Ryman

or

Billy Strings at the Ryman

And @Chef2, DMB used to play much longer jams but they’ve cut back on them as they’ve aged. Carter is in his 60s now. Go see them while they are still touring.

 

1/Whoever’s playing Red Rocks that night

2/Billy Strings wherever he’s playing

 

I want to think on this, but I'm seeing The Gaslight Anthem in Central Park in NYC next week. Before I splurged to do this, that would've been one (though seeing them in NJ might be better). Still. Can't wait.

But need to think on it.

 

Times gone past division:
REM at the 40-Watt Club in Athens
The Jam at Hammersmith Odeon 18 Nov. 1980.

 

I lived it with 1 ticket in 2011 at Bonnaroo ...

Florence + The Machine at one of the tents, followed by Arcade Fire on the main stage.

(Mumford played the other stage the next afternoon if I recall, we had a great spot, and they blew the festival away. Peak Bonnaroo.)

The next night, I watched the Mavericks win the Larry on TV.

 

No. 1 would be a day with VIP passes at JazzFest. I’ll take potluck on whoever’s playing that day and it will slap no matter what.

No. 2 would be floor seats for Taylor Swift. I’m no full-fledged Swiftie but enjoy quite a bit of her stuff. More importantly it’s a pair of tickets, which means my teen girl gets a lifetime memory.

 

In days of yore
1) Queen at Live Aid (really just any Queen concert)

2) CCR

 

Nick Lowe and Los Straitjackets.
Leyla McCalla.
Sierra Ferrell would also be on the list if I hadn't caught her act a few months ago.

 

Hop in a time machine and see The Eagles and Fleetwood Mac touring together around '77. And then maybe James Brown or Sam Cooke at the Apollo back in the day?

 

@Inky_Wretch and @FileNotFound both mentioned Red Rocks.
I’ve got to got to got to go see someone out there. We drove fairly close to it on our way to Keystone a couple months ago.

 

And wouldn’t you know…..My plans next weekend may have just changed…..I’ve been kicking around the idea of going out to Castle Pines next weekend for the BMW……Dave Matthews Band is playing at Fiddlers Green in Greenwood Village next weekend……only a 15 minute drive….
